A few friends told me they were going to climb Table Mountain later in the week, and they invited me to come along. At first I said, “No, I have a lot of work to do,” knowing that I had a meeting to attend and the other people at the meeting would wonder why I was absent.
This is one thikng that bugs me: there is definitely something to be said folr those who are DEPENDABLE and who do not miss the meeting because they got a bug in their hat and went climbing kinstead. Did he really have to go climb Table Mountain on that particular day, just because it was a possibility? That annoys me because dependable people like me have to pick up the slack for the whim-followers
